In 3023, a company from the First Sword of Light accompanied Coordinator Takashi Kurita (along with a company from the Seventh Sword) on a raid of the Davion world of Quentin. Coordinator Takashi wanted to see his newly hired mercenaries, the famed Wolf's Dragoons, in action on an objective raid. The Kuritan troops spear-headed the final push to secure the Independence Weaponry factory, though they lost some warriors during their charge. [6]

In 3077 the First Sword of Light attacked Quentin with Tau Galaxy. There the two units destroyed the 47th Shadow Division, but only after the Blakists launched biological weapons that killed many and poisoned food stores.[12] The next year saw the First Sword of Light taking Epsilon Indi away from the Word of Blake. The Combine warriors saw the Blakists use biological weapons again, which poisoned the world's water supplies.[13]

During the liberation of Terra the First Sword of Light attacked ROM headquarters in Cairo with the Kell Hounds, 2nd Dieron Regulars, and Stone's Revenants.[14] The 36th Division and several Light of Mankind special operations teams set a trap that devastated the Kell Hounds and Dieron Regulars. The First Sword of Light, previously guarding the flanks, redeployed quickly to shelter the survivors and hold the territory the Hounds and Regulars gained. The mission to take Cairo became a brutal slugfest as ROM operatives used any weapon, including chemical and biological agents, to hold off the Coalition forces. Eventually the First Sword of Light had to settle for a siege, containing the Blakists in their fortress. After a few months of this Precentor ROM Kernoff tried to escape from the Cairo Castle Brian complex only to be captured by Sword of Light members.[15] The actions taken by the Coalition forces left the First Sword with a low opinion of the RAF.[16]

During the Second Combine-Dominion War, the First Sword of Light was kept away from the front lines at the order of Hohiro Kurita. He was worried about his son Shinjiro, who was serving in the First at that time. Instead the unit was sent to the Raven Alliance border and fought forces from that realm many times.[18]

In the early 3110's, the First Sword of light fought the Raven Alliance on Schirmeck.[19] During the destruction of Clan Nova Cat the First Sword of Light faced elements of Alpha Galaxy's Ninth Cluster on Irece.[20] Afterwards they volunteered to be posted to the Rasalhague Dominion border. Though deliberately missing out on the invasion of the Federated Suns, the First sees more honor in protecting the Dragon by being in close proximity of four large
formations of Rasalhague Dominion troops.[21]
